Chapter 372 Xiaoli
Fuller chose to escape.

He is a "thief" and he is very good at escaping.

Taking dozens of steps in a row allowed him to quickly escape from the battle.

Fuck the glory, fuck the mission!
Let the undead hold it there while you run to a safer place.

When death came closer to him, Fuller finally understood what he was really afraid of.

Now that life in the Rand Kingdom has returned to normal, perhaps he should go back instead of fighting on the front line. The general will definitely not care about the life or death of a sentry, and the war will definitely last a long time. He felt fortunate.

As he breathed heavily, his mind was working rapidly.

But the bad thing was that it was completely dark and he was a little disoriented.

It was not until he stepped into some soft mud that he realized he must have fallen into the black river he had wanted to avoid.

His body was sinking rapidly, the gurgling sound was like boiling soup in a hanging pot, and he was the poor fellow who was about to be swallowed.

At this moment, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed Fuller's arm.

"Don't struggle. The more you struggle, the deeper you'll sink!" It was the voice of a young girl.

It's like the sound of nature.

He tried to slow down his body as much as possible, allowing the other party to pull him out of the black mud soup that was swallowing him.

"Thank you." Fuller wiped the paste that splashed on his face because of his struggle. He was rescued when he was only up to his thigh.

It was already completely dark, and he could only vaguely make out the other person's rather thin figure.

She was not wearing armor, which meant she was not a member of the expeditionary force.

"I am Fuller, Sentinel of the Kingdom." Even though he was already a deserter.

"Li, you can call me Xiaoli."

When Xiaoli lit the fire, Fuller could see clearly that the other person had ice-blue skin and a pretty face.

Night demon girl.

"I've seen your portrait," Fuller said.

"Portrait?" she asked in confusion.

"I mean, the portrait of your species."

"We used to communicate with the people in that village occasionally. I heard that this is what happened. It might have been left behind at that time." said the Night Demon Girl.

In any case, it would be best for the two of them to work together on this night.

It was a natural collaboration; they were just two poor creatures in the darkness.

He was not willing to talk too much about the expeditionary force, as he could not guarantee whether the girl in front of him would also encounter the expeditionary force.

Suddenly he felt a little regretful for telling the other party his name. For a period of time, the name "Fuller" would definitely be ridiculed in the expeditionary force.

The Night Demon Girl Xiaoli said a lot.

"I want to go back to the Twilight Pool. We worship the Lady of Night and guard her key, but that key is always lost."

She wanted to go back to get the key and fulfill her obligations, but the way back was difficult.

Just when she was about to give up, she met Fuller.

"I can walk with you for a while," Fuller said. "By the way, you said you didn't come from Morpheus' Gate?"

"Yes, let's take another path. The Queen arranges our lives."

She spoke in scattered pieces, and Fuller had to think hard to extract useful information from her words. She was as jumpy as ever. The first half of the sentence was about walking, and the second half suddenly jumped to the Queen, who had never been mentioned in the topic before.

This means that she is inexperienced and naive.

Fuller asked, "Can you tell me how to get that way?"

"Of course, I just happen to be going back too, so we're on the same way."

The Night Devil Girl is also very curious about the human world. She wants to hear everything about it from Fuller, but Fuller, who has just become a deserter, is unwilling to mention it.

"Pool of Dusk?" He could only try to change the subject.

Xiaoli was easily diverted: "Yes, we were born in the Dusk Pool. We are natural believers of the Daughter of Night. We will spend our whole lives serving the Daughter of Night, and then we will guard the key."

"What key?"

"A key that is always lost." Xiaoli suddenly stared at Fuller's face for a while, her face full of vigilance.

"I'm not going to steal that key. This is the first time I've heard of it today."

Seeing her like this, Fuller was also aroused by curiosity: "What can that key do? Open all the locks?"

Some locks are magic locks that cannot be opened without breaking the magic. It is said that Lind's treasure is hidden behind such a lock. But it is just a rumor.

"Why did you open the lock?"

"But it is the key."

"It can do more!" Xiaoli looked at Fuller with a serious look and said, "More!"

"for example?"

"Let the Daughter of Night come."

The Daughter of Night was probably a powerful deity, but Fuller had no interest in keys that could not bring wealth, glory, etc.

For a non-believer, seeing a pagan god is no gift.

Fuller had plenty of dry food prepared with him. Even if he threw away the ones that were soaked in the mud, there would still be enough for them to eat.

The way out was not easy, and to ensure safety, they kept moving along the Black River.

“There’s something else?”

Fuller mistakenly thought that the river would swallow everything and nothing could survive in it, but the huge thing in front of him made him open his eyes wide.

It was a fat creature as big as a hill, with claws as long as a bastard sword, and its outstretched claws like a weapon rack.

Its eyes were white without pupils.

But what puzzled Fuller was that Xiaoli had no reaction to this huge thing, unlike the look of surprise she had when she walked along the way.

Suddenly the monster's body began to tremble, Fuller quickly stepped back, and then he understood why Xiaoli didn't feel fear.

The monster was already dead, and countless cockroaches as big as leather boots were crawling in and out of the monster's corpse.

The corpse was being eaten by cockroaches, and from a distance it looked like it was trembling.

Monsters are just prey.

"Bugs are the most dangerous things," Xiaoli said.

"Like a man-eating fly?" Fuller inquired.

"Yes, but not only man-eating flies."

They found a place to hide and rest at night, and then moved forward after daybreak. After two days and nights, they finally came to a spiraling slope, which was the temporary residence of the Night Demon.

According to Xiaoli, this was the place where the Queen had ordered them to stay. The Queen had to leave temporarily because of some things, but she would be back soon, and she also took some people with her.

"Is the Queen also a Night Demon?"

"No, she is not of the same tribe as us. She just saved us."

Xiaoli was grateful and respectful to the Queen.

The "woooo" sound of the wolf howling made the two of them immediately nervous.

Fuller reached out and grabbed Xiaoli, pulling her behind a rock to hide.

"It's a mad wolf. That kind of monster will use its tongue to drill bloody holes in your body, and finally tear you to pieces with its claws and teeth." Xiaoli covered her mouth after she said that.

They hold their breath to prevent themselves from making any sound.

The thieves had plenty of experience in this area, but the mad wolf seemed to have determined that something was wrong here, and the sound of its claws pressing on the ground as it approached gradually grew louder.

Fuller held the knife and waited nervously. He didn't want to get into conflict with those bloody things.

"Ow—!"

There was a miserable howl of a wolf outside, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

"Xiao Li!" a woman's voice came.

The two men stood up from behind the rock and saw four mad wolves with smashed heads lying on the ground, as well as two night demons with ice-blue skin.

They made strange hand seals with their hands, and the magic light was dissipating from their wrists.

"Is this magic?" Fuller breathed a sigh of relief and asked the two night demons.

"A magic that is unique to us," they said.

The night demons simply nodded to Fuller, and then began to scold Xiaoli, saying that her behavior of leaving without permission was very dangerous.

When the Night Devils learned that Fuller wished to leave, they showed him a way and even gave him a horse.

"It's like an interesting experience!" Fuller swung the reins, but unfortunately the horse was too old and ran very slowly, and it would take him a long time to catch up.
